chapter 11 Use grass as sword

"How audacious!"
The collapse of Samuel's corpse infuriated the eight elders.
They were all Heaven Martial Realm Experts, able to dominate a region and roam freely across the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty.
In front of them.
Liam dared to commit murder, killing Samuel directly, leaving them no face.
In an instant.
The central square was filled with falling leaves, and the mountains and ravines trembled.
The eight elders' energy surged, exuding a powerful force and a faint glow, causing the nearby disciples to stagger.
As Heaven Martial Realm Experts, their energy nurtured inner breath, capable of suppressing thousands!
However.
Liam remained composed.
As the North King of the Red Dragon, he need not give heed to the Heaven Martial.
"Liam, I am delighted to see you regain your past glory," said a voice.
At this critical moment, a clear voice came from afar.
The crowd in the square parted.
A young man in his twenties, with long eyebrows extending into his hairline, wearing a Benjamin robe, was approaching slowly.
He was around twenty, handsome, and exuded a chilling aura. As his gaze swept over Samuel's corpse, his chilling aura intensified, and his heartbeat thundered like roaring dragons.
No matter how unworthy Samuel was, he was still his brother.
He had arrived just a step too late.
"It's the Young Sect Leader, he has come out!"
"After reaching the fifth position in the Earth Ranking, the Sect Master personally sought the 'Dragon’s Leap Blood' to cleanse his physical body for him."
"With a heartbeat like thunder and bones resonating, the Young Sect Leader has broken through to the Heaven Martial Realm!"
The disciples were overjoyed.
Since Liam's expulsion.
Benjamin had been the hope of the entire sect, cultivated tirelessly.
Living up to his genius reputation, Benjamin's cultivation soared, and he entered the Earth Ranking of the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, reaching the fifth position.
Now.
He had soared even higher, stepping into the Heaven Martial Realm!
A twenty-year-old Heaven Martial!
Even if he broke through with the help of Dragon’s Leap Blood, such an achievement was still astonishing in the entire the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty.
Perhaps.
Benjamin had a chance to cross the Bitter Sea and step into the Transcendent Realm!
"Without me, you've been thriving in the Sungarde Sect," Liam said, looking at Benjamin with a slight smile on his lips.
This man was hypocritical, still posing as a brother to this day.
But he was no longer the youth of the past.
After six years of turmoil in the North, his temperament became calm and steady.
Facing the culprit who nearly destroyed his future, he harbored no overwhelming resentment, only calmness.
"Liam, you shouldn't have come back."
"And you certainly shouldn't have killed my brother. That was the most foolish decision of your life."
Benjamin's robe billowed as Liam's words ignited a murderous intent within him.
Indeed.
Without Liam, he could rise to prominence; his talent would finally be recognized by the sect.
"Just because my brother shouldn't have been killed, does that mean my family deserved to be humiliated?" Liam's gaze lowered.
Deceiving Owen.
Coercing Lucy.
Benjamin was undoubtedly behind all these.
Benjamin said no more, his killing intent surging.
"Since the Young Sect Leader wishes to uphold our sect's justice, let's not interfere."
The eight elders all stepped back.
Liam was too young, only nineteen.
Even with his Divine Bloodline restored, he couldn't surpass Benjamin, nurtured by the sect's collective power.
"If that's the case."
"Then let your blood be the sacrifice for my Heaven Martial Path!"
Benjamin let out a long howl, stomped the ground, and shot out like an arrow.
His spine was like a dragon rising, his body vibrated, his fist pierced the air, causing a series of explosive blasts aimed directly at Liam's face.
"Earth Martial Technique, Explosive Void Fist!"
"With a fist that dominates the skies, reaching nine explosions, worthy of Master Layton's brother!"
Disciples in the square looked on with awe.
In the path of cultivation, martial foundation was the root, martial technique the leaves.
Each realm had its corresponding martial techniques.
Explosive Void Fist, an Earth Martial Technique, was extremely difficult to master. Even the ten Grand Elders could only achieve around seven explosions at most.
"After six years apart, you're still no match for me."
Liam stood unmovable, holding Lucy with one hand and pushing out a simple punch with the other.
In the past.
Liam, as the first genius of Sungarde Sect, had studied many martial techniques within the sect and was naturally familiar with Explosive Void Fist.
In an instant.
A series of explosive blasts erupted from Liam's fist, overwhelming like a tsunami, stunning the watching disciples.
Liam was also using Explosive Void Fist.
And surpassed nine explosions, reaching fifteen, completely overpowering Benjamin.
In the blink of an eye.
Their fists collided, causing a wave of air ripples.
Hiss!
Benjamin's face twisted in pain as he spat out blood and was thrown ten meters away before stopping in disarray.
"How is this possible!"
Looking at Liam, Benjamin's body shook, his face contorted in fury.
Liam mastering Explosive Void Fist meant he was at least at the Earth Martial Realm, and his skill in this technique far surpassed his.
"Die!"
A shadow of dread spread over Benjamin, who roared and charged again.
Inner breath surged from his blood, converging in his palms, echoing with the sound of crashing waves.
"Heaven Martial Technique, Surging Wave Toppling Mountain Palm, huh?"
"Impressive in sound but lacking in substance."
Liam still faced him with just one hand, a simple but overwhelmingly powerful palm pressing down like crushing a mountain.
With a loud boom.
The ground under Benjamin shattered, and he was forced to retreat again, completely stunned.
He felt no inner breath from Liam.
Yet just by using the same Surging Wave Toppling Mountain Palm, he was repelled.
The comment 'impressive but unsubstantial' drove him near madness.
"I refuse to believe this!"
"How can you, a nobody, compare to me!"
Benjamin roared and attacked Liam once more.
The hall fell silent, the spectators speechless.
Daniel and Leo, who were fighting Owen, turned their shocked gazes towards them.
Liam, in his flowing white robes, appeared like a true immortal.
Holding his sister in one hand and suppressing Benjamin with the other.
Despite Benjamin using various martial techniques, Liam counters with equal martial prowess.
In a matter of moments.
The martial techniques displayed by both exceeded ten types.
In Liam's hands, each of the ten techniques reached the pinnacle of mastery.
"He was expelled from the Sungarde Sect, yet he has cultivated these martial techniques to such an extent!"
The watching elders, breathing heavily, felt as if a great mountain pressed upon their chests.
Liam’s Divine Bloodline being neutralized didn't concern them.
Because Benjamin's performance was increasingly astonishing, even if Liam's talent remained, he wouldn't surpass the former.
But now, their perceptions were overturned.
A Sungarde Sect outcast, his talent monstrous, capable of overpowering the Young Sect Leader with every move.
"Young Sect Leader, stop fighting!"
Seeing Benjamin repelled again, a black-robed elder shouted.
He was the Sungarde Sect’s Grand Elder, named ‘Caleb Lewis’.
Liam seemed unimpressive in aura, but he must have entered the Heaven Martial Realm, and Benjamin was definitely no match.
"It's been six years, how can I still lose to him!"
Benjamin, staggering, his chest and back bloodied, spoke with madness, “I want him dead!"
He then drew a golden short sword from his bosom.
"Sungarde Order!"
Caleb’s expression changed, "Everyone, quickly leave the plaza!"
Whoosh!
Benjamin swung his hand, planting the golden short sword into the ground.
Hum!
The entire central plaza rippled like water.
Beams of scorching light shot up from around the plaza, brightening the sky, and a magnificent sun emerged.
All elders and disciples panicked and fled the plaza.
Daniel and Leo, ignoring Owen, retreated hastily.
As a Great Sect of the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty, it naturally had a strong foundation.
The Sect Path, engraved with the Mountain-sealing Great Array, could fend off external enemies.
The Sungarde Killing Formation engraved in the central plaza was even more terrifying, capable of killing those in the Heaven Martial Realm.
Only experts on the Red Dragon Martial Dynasty’s Heaven Ranking could withstand it.
Using the formation depleted it each time.
Since the establishment of the Sungarde Sect, it was activated only in life-or-death moments.
Benjamin, as the Young Sect Leader, wielded the Sungarde Order to activate the Sungarde Killing Formation.
"Look at Owen, what is he going to do?"
Some noticed Liam.
Liam, not retreating, grasped a flying weed and pointed obliquely at the sky.
"This..."
The disciples gasped.
Facing the Sungarde Killing Formation capable of slaying those in the Heaven Martial Realm, was Liam countering with just a weed?
They wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
Because with the weed in hand, Liam was like holding a heavenly blade, becoming unstoppable.
A simple gesture, containing profound truth.
"This seems to be some kind of blade technique!"
Grand Elder Caleb’s expression changed.
"Using the weed as a blade, breaking the Sungarde Killing Formation!"
Liam stood tall, waiting for the magnificent sun to descend, then swung the weed at the sky.
